Karlee Wimer

Karlee Wimer, senior human nutrition and foods major from Meadville, Pennsylvania, grew up in a very active household. Coming into college, she was drawn to learning about the foods we eat and how they can affect our bodies. Recognizing that the first step is often the hardest when it comes to making diet-related lifestyle changes, she encourages others to focus on their 'why' when starting out their journey toward a healthier lifestyle. 

After she graduates, Karlee plans to continue her education in an M.S./Dietetic Internship program, with the goal of working in a clinical setting. She hopes to someday specialize in oncology and earn her Ph.D. so that she can become a professor, teaching others about nutrition.
